Orkut is one of the most popular social networking site in India and Brazil. I can go as far as to say that if you are an Indian and you are bewteen 15 to 30 years old, you are on Orkut. Aren’t you?
Now if you are too much on Orkut you probably discuss everything with your friends in their scrapbooks or in related communities. One issue that I face continuously is that you can’t post source code on Orkut. If you do try to post it, then,
- Either you’ll get some unrecognizable mess of characters, or
- Orkut will refuse to post it in Scrapbook or Communities.
SO, WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?
The solution is Orkut Code Poster. You can use this small tool to post the source code in Orkut with correct spacing and syntax highlighting. You can even add a signature at the end of source code.
Top 7 Features of ORKUT CODE POSTER that I like
Orkut Code Poster has many cool features however the following seven are my favourite,
1. Code is posted with detailed formatting and syntax highlighting.
2. Multiple color schemes and option to choose code coloring mode.
3. Keyboard shortcuts
4. When you open a source code file in Orkut Code Poster, it automatically formats and highlights the code. This works for all language, be it C++, java, perl or python.
5. If the Orkut scrapbook or community text box is too small for you, you can post the code directly to http://pastebin.ca from within the software.
6. Ability to export the code in HTML format so that you can post it on your blog easily.
7. If the code is too large, that is, if it exceeds 2048 characters (the limit for a scrap on Orkut), then you get a warning.
Overall, its a nice handy tool which is a must have in your toolbox, if you are a programmer.
